I thought this was a funny article because in the picture it did not look like the puppy was drowning it looked like it could stand and it looked like that hill wasnt so steep so the kid could just walk down and pick it up. I mean I have walked down steeper into a creek before. So I thought this wasa humorous article until I read all of your comments which it looks like half of everybody cares a little too much. There are worse things than a drowning puppy going on here on our ground. HELLO?!

they didn’t save a puppy. They almost lost dinner and would probably be in big trouble if they didn’t get it back.

These pics shows the human nature ….
And their love towards animals …
Not all humans are same but these two children fall in good category :D

Good job boys…..some places ppl do eat dogs true, but i doubt they were looking for a meal. help each other and the for legged animals… thanks ashish for your comment sometimes ppl can’t seem to help but say negative things it seems.:(

Guess what.. Good things are good.. Even if its a fake.. I don’t mind it.. Its warms the heart.. Forget the details.. It might be small.. But its better than the whole load of s**t that the media is showing these days.. You can’t directly go and change a generation.. But you can always start with small things like this.. Hope.. Faith.. Love..

Oh I’m sorry Lanfear, I didn’t know you were there and saw the entire thing. My bad.

I guess the dog could have drowned if he stayed in the water too long and got so tired that he fell asleep with his head under water.
